Newborns

I am so happy to announce that our new baby boy, Gabriel Lucas Holloway, was born on Monday, June 24th at 11:08pm.  After months of waiting and anticipating his arrival, he made a rather speedy appearance after a short labor.  He is an absolutely beautiful baby boy and is so, so loved!  His birth was attended by the wonderful nurses of KRMC, Dr. Tedesco, 2 of my older children (Calista & Damien), and my dear friends Robin and Michelle.  Michelle is a local photographer and was so kind to photograph Gabriel’s birth for me.  She has truly given me a priceless gift!  I have no photos of any of my other 9 children coming into the world and I am so grateful to have these images of Gabriel’s birth.

I am by no means done taking Gabriel’s newborn photos, but we are currently in limbo waiting to see if we are going to be evacuated due to the Dean Peak fire currently burning in the Hualapai Mountains near Kingman, Arizona.  Life has sort of come to a standstill as we are glued to the news and radar, praying for rain.  The neighborhood just up the street from us has already been evacuated and we are praying that everyone stays safe and no homes are lost.  I wanted to put up a few of Gabriel’s pictures that I have taken so far and will hopefully be adding more soon.  Stay tuned for more, and please keep Arizona in your thoughts and prayers…too many lives and homes have been lost already!

On a happier note, here is my beautiful  new baby boy.  He’s a blonde haired, blue eyed cutie with a huge dimple in his left cheek (that I WILL capture soon).  Enjoy! 🙂

What can I say about baby Bishop…he is cute, cuddly, sweet, precious, adorable, loved…I could go on and on.  It was such an honor to be welcomed into this family’s home to take Bishop’s newborn portraits.  Bishop’s session embodies everything I want a newborn session to be…all about the baby…no frill and no fluff…just a lot of new baby sweetness in all it’s natural glory.  Thank you M. family for allowing me into your home in these first few precious days with your new baby boy.  I hope you love these images of your sweetie as much as I do.

We even made a quick trip outside to get an outdoor portrait of baby Bishop.  The elements definitely were not in our favor that day (gnats, cool temps, wind and even a cloud that decided to dump rain on us) but I absolutely LOVE this picture and am so glad I was able to add it to his gallery.

What can I say about this beautiful family…they were my first ‘stranger’ session 4 years ago when I photographed Lucienne at 5 weeks old.  Yes, we both thought 5 weeks was the perfect time for a newborn session back then…live and learn! hehe  {For those of you wanting to book a newborn session, PLEASE contact me while you are still pregnant…ahem…}  I remember being so nervous the week leading up to the session.  I studied lighting like a mad woman, tested out my props and blankets, and did everything I could to prepare.  The day came, and honestly, all of my stress and apprehension was put to rest when I met Ronne and Dino.  They are the most laid back, wonderful couple you could possibly meet.  They have since become friends, despite moving 4 hours away to Gilbert, and we keep in touch on a regular basis.

I had lengthy conversations with Ronne during their long journey to baby Nohl joining their family.  When Ronne discovered she was expecting, it was like I had just found out I was pregnant myself…I was SO thrilled for them!  There really isn’t a more deserving family out there.  I enjoyed hearing about her pregnancy as it progressed, and did her maternity photos in the snow near Flagstaff this winter.  When baby Nohl finally arrived, I couldn’t wait to get down to their home to photograph their growing family in their own element.  It was a 4 hour drive, but I would do it 100 times again.  And you photogs out there who are leery of doing an ‘older’ newborn?  Don’t be!  It’s such a fun age!  They are starting to chunk up and their little personalities are starting to emerge.  It really is a magical time to document a growing family.

Ronne, Dino, and Lucienne, I am BEYOND thrilled for you guys.  You are a wonderful family and the love you guys share has been so fun to document over the years.  I can’t wait to do Nohl’s 6 month pictures and see you all again.  I seriously love these images, and hope you do too. 🙂

I was so excited to get a session booked with this sweet little lady…oh how I LOVE new babies!  I’m really trying to go in a more organic, natural direction with my newborn photography, so this was a great opportunity to put that into practice.  I think this may just be my favorite newborn session I’ve ever done.  Little Emilynn was the perfect supermodel too!  She was a great sleeper and oh my gosh, SUCH a beautiful baby.  I am in love with her hair!  This session is seriously making me want to fast forward time a few months to when my own new baby will be here.  If she doesn’t give you baby fever, there’s something wrong with ya! 😀

For those of you who are local to the Kingman area, I’m running a spring newborn special and have 1 spot still remaining!  This is a GREAT deal and a wonderful way to preserve those fleeting moments in your baby’s life that pass so quickly.  The best time to schedule your baby’s newborn pictures is BEFORE they are born.  I want to get my littlest clients in front of my camera before they are 10 days old, so don’t wait…get on my calendar now!

Enough talk, how about some pictures?

First, the group shot.  I will neither confirm nor deny whether or not this was a composite…

This was from the LAST time I shot these cuties.  I still crack up looking at it!  Poor Cohen just wasn’t having it!  lol

And now for sweet baby Emilynn’s photos…I just love her!

I got a little grin!

Don’t you just love it when babies sleep with their arms up over their head?  I’ve always heard that this means they are happy, comfortable, and content.  I’ll take that!

I see a dimple!

Love awake shots too…

This little piggy went to the market…

Mommy & Baby shots are *always* my favorites…is there really anything sweeter?

AND my favorites.  I am primarily an outdoor/on location photographer, so having the early spring weather give us a few beautiful days was such a blessing.  We were able to get a couple of shots of Emilynn outside, and I LOVE them.  Seriously love.

I make announcements too!  These are just a few samples I made for Emilynn.  Aren’t they sweet for a spring baby?

It was so wonderful seeing you again, Heidi!  You have a precious family, and your newest addition seriously couldn’t be sweeter.  Thank you for letting me do these for you guys! <3
